Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

There's a great deal on a drive from Amazon Warehouse, but I'm a bit concerned about the quality of the drive and the fact I can't return it.

Anybody have any experience buying something like this?

I would be more concerned about shipping from Amazon vs the quality. I stopped ordering drives from them after the last 2 I got from them were shipped in a bag with no padding.
